About the Author

Kaye A. Thomas is the author of That Thing Rich
People Do: Required Reading for Investors

Kaye
Thomas is the founder of Fairmark Press and author of its books
as well as the material on this website. He has been a tax
lawyer more years than he will admit, but now devotes most of
his time to writing, consulting and public speaking.

While his early books focused on taxation of investments, Kaye
realized that a good tax strategy had to be built on a sound
approach to investing. Later editions of his books
Go Roth! and
Consider Your Options offer summaries of relevant
principles, and his new book, That Thing
Rich People Do, lays out all the basics that every investor
should know.

Kaye is a 1980 graduate of Harvard Law School where he served on
the Harvard Law Review — yet he admits he knew little about
investing until he embarked on a study of the subject many years
later. "Like most people," he said, "I finished my formal
education without knowing even the basics of investing. Learning
this subject was an interesting process, but a frustrating one.
There are some great books out there, but also quite a lot of
nonsense, and it isn't always easy for a novice to know the
difference." One of his goals in writing That Thing Rich
People Do was to make this learning process easier for
others.
